BTW, does one earn HON miles on Edelweiss?
You don't unless it is a wetlease to Swiss.

Looks like LX1727 (Rome-Zurich) in January is no longer operated by Edelweiss, it has been upgraded to an A321 operated by Swiss

Per airlineroute LJU to end. Traffic between 2 *A hubs cannot be maintained, tough one.

SWISS in early-January 2016 is ending Zurich Ljublajana operation, as last service scheduled on 03JAN16. The Star Alliance member currently operates this route 4 times a week, with SWISS Global Air Lines Avro RJ100 aircraft.

Existing schedule as follow.

LX2276 ZRH1215 1325LJU AR1 x246
LX2277 LJU1400 1520ZRH AR1 x246
Also per airlineroute seasonal S16 flights to Lamezia from GVA
SWISS in summer 2016 has filed a seasonal schedule for planned Geneva Lamezia Terme route, currently scheduled to operate from 02JUL16 to 20AUG16. Based on proposed schedule filed in OAG Schedules Analyser, the airline is planning 1 weekly flight, using AvroRJ100 aircraft.

LX2384 GVA1130 1340SUF AR1 6
LX2385 SUF1440 1700GVA AR1 6

PS. I checked for early April.
Thanks for checking. I fly this route regularly, and I'm avoiding early flights. I wonder why are they scheduling it so weird. Regardless, Sunday is becoming a viable day for returns. I wish the Friday one was later as well.

For a while in the early 2000s a little airline called Styrian Spirit was operating this route, with a SWISS codeshare (would have been around 2005). It's a shame that it went under because they offered a nice inflight service. For a while (just a few months prior to bankruptcy) it was the only airline apart from SWISS on which you could earn qualifying miles!

As per airlineroute, "SWISS Ends 4 European Routes in April 2016":

SWISS during the month of April 2016 is gradually ending 4 European routes, including 3 from Geneva. Planned routes cancellation as follow:

Geneva Belgrade 2 weekly, last flight operates on 16APR16
Geneva Copenhagen 5 weekly, last flight operates on 17APR16
Geneva Sarajevo 2 weekly, last flight operates on 16APR16
Zurich Helsinki 4 weekly, last flight operates on 30APR16
I'm very disappointed to see HEL go, especially since it was only just (re)started a year ago.

To answer my question. LX alone on the route
per airlineroute

Lufthansa Group is adjusting operations on Geneva Munich route from 04APR16, as Lufthansa operating service is no longer available for reservation. This 4 daily service will be operated by SWISS instead. Reservation for SWISS operating flights opened earlier this month.
